Hi Chris and list:
Yes that suggestion has been made before, but it's still a good one. More and more products are using chm files to deliver whatever help may be available. This is true in products intended for the blind or the mainstream. Many blind have been slow to recognise or appreciate the benefits of easier navigation, etc. but that doesn't make them bad. It's an educational matter we (meaning users and not because we are blind) must take on because we are the best able to do it. 

Cheers,
Dave

Subject: [bookport] as long as we are wishing



One item I left out of my original wish list when I first joined was the
ability to read .CHM files.
These are used for most software manuals under Windows and in many cases are 
quite large.  I decompiled one back to .htm but the file was to large and
the bookport just hung every time I tried to load it.
The BP doesn't seem to like .HTM with several thousand lines.
Yes I could just make plain text but I would prefer to have the headings and 
levels that were in the .CHM to begin with.  It is the ability to navigate
the .CHM manuals quickly that I want on the BP.
